D H S PORTRAIT Leonard Southwood Introducing the fellow that has a priority on extra curricular act- ivities - Leonard Southwood! Among the offices that he holds, We find, presidency of the student body, vice presidency of the Stu- dent Council, and captaincy .of the football team. Leonard, commonly known as C , has had a brilliant career as a D. H. S. athlete. He went out for football when he was in the eighth grade and has played on the reserve team two years and the varsity team for two years. He's the brains of the back- field , says Goon Silliman, pay- ing tribute to his captain. Basketball is right down C's alley, too, for he has played on the varsity team as forward for three years. Spring always finds him on the cinder track. Last year he placed first in high hurdles at the quad- rangular meet, and tied for first place in pole vaulting at Lexing- ton in the C. K. C. Books bore UC terribly, especi- ally those on required reading lists. In fact, he hasn't a good word for any high school subject except physics. t'There's sense to that,', he affirms. All movies appeal to him, and when Gene Tierney is at the State or Kentucky, so is HC . No Danville Hi girl has worn his class ring, but there are rum- ors that a cute little cheerleader of a rival school can almost throw him off his game . Upon graduation this year, he hopes to major in athletics and physics at University of Ken- tucky. That is, if Uncle Sam is willing.

The uniforms give the girls a feeling of coordina- tion when they are playing, Mrs- Rosen affirms. Class teams have been formed in volley ball and long ball, and intramural contests will be held.. All students having vacant per- iods in the afternoon will be in-- vited to attend these contests. During the winter months bas- ketball will be taught according to girls' rules. At the close of the school year an exhibit will be held in which all the physical education classes. will take part. NUMEROLOGIST IN' LOVE I'm not appreci8edg I don't r8!

'I'1l say,' I'm bacon. -Scholastic Satisfying The Inner Man Eleven thirty by the clock, the shrill peal of a bell, a mad rush through the halls, and we find! ourselves in the D. H. S. lunchl room! When we arrive panting and disheveled, the faculty is already seated at their special table, calm- l ly enjoying their midday meall Mr, Henry CFlashJ Lair, surround-f ed by a bevy of attractive women teachers, is monopolizing thei conversation. The long lines of impatientf students move slowly toward thej 2 food laden tables. The seventh-I graders' eyes begin to bulge slightly as they gaze in wonder at the vast array of candies, cakes, pies, and soda-pop - forbidden fruits in the grade schools. Above the general hubbub, the righteously indignant voice of a monitor is heard. 'tHey you! G'wan back to the-end of the line. With an insolent stare the of- fending student blithely ignores the hand of the law and stands his ground. With this, the monitor goes meekly away to offer the same suggestion to a lower class- man who will respect his auth- orityf' After we reach the tables and make our selections, keeping in mind vitamins A B C D as well as a possible E F G and H, we bolt our food as rapidly as pos- sible. Finally, full, happy, and undis- ciplined we emerge from the lunch room to continue our quest for knowledge.

Is it worth while to finish high school and have a year or two of college before entering the army? Will I ever be able to enter my chosen pro- fession? These are the questions that are asked by thousands of students in our schools to-day. These questions cannot be answered by an individual for our country is at war, and we do not know what the next few years will bring. Of course, many high schobl grad- uates will enter the service of their country next summer if they feel it is their duty to do so. Others will enter college to snatch a year or two of training before they receive Uncle Sam's call, but then they will be thinking, Is it worth while to go to college for just a year or two? It is essential to get all the education possible. It is even more necessary now than it ever was, for the boys who are asking these questions must realize they are the zmen, the government, the America of to- morrow. When this war is over, our country will need educated people in the great re- construction period. As one of the high school boys who hopes 'to graduate in 1943 and have time for, per- ihaps, two years of college before Uncle Sam -calls me, I say to the other fellows, Let's get what we can now, and complete our education after our country's great need for preservation has been met and peace has come again. ' ALFALFA TAKES SCHOOL Hilfi Stulfdents! No, your eyes aren't deceiving you for this is the language that is rapidly replacing English, known as Al- falfa Talk . And I do mean replacing! It has taken Danville High by storm. Alfalfa language is a remote cousin of pig Latin but is much more refined. For instance, school in pig Latin would be choo1sa and in t'Alfalfa it would be schoolfool . Obvious isn't it? It has been rumored that a class en- titled How to Speak the Cultural Langu- age of Alfalfa will be added to the curri- culum second semester. Teachers are said to be taking corres- pondence courses in this ultra modern lan- guage so they can understand their students' recitations. Welfel, I'lfil mulfust silfign olfof nowl- fow! Bilfiy! Catch on??? ROMANCE ON THE SHELF Once upon a time there lived in The Book House The Bad Boy who was fam- ous for his Pride and Prejudice. His little friend, Jane Eyre, and he played many in- teresting games including Reaching for the Stars, Listen, the Wind, War and Peace, and 'tWe. As they grew older and more in- telligent, they developed new and original games. Some of their favorites were Sense and Sensibility, Gentle Julia, and Heidi At Seventeen t'The Bad Boy said Goodbye, Mr. Chipsi' to his school master after having gone through Blood, Sweat and Tears with him and stepped Out of the Night into The New Mooni' in search of his Lady of the Lake. He had t'Travels Abroad Inside Latin Americaf' North of the Orient, and Inside Asial' which led him closer to a Garland for Girls. Later he changed his course to Westward Ho! Jane Eyre left her friends, the Little Women, in search of some Little Men. While traveling she met Jack and Jill Under the Lilacs. She became quite ro- mantic. The War at Sea disturbed her quiet life and caused her to be known as The Littlest Rebel. After long years Boy 'Meets Girl again, and the Good Shepherd was called to pro- nounce them man and wife In Uncle Tom's Cabin. They lived happily ever after in The House of Seven Gables.

PRINCI PAL'S CORNER September 1942 has brought the boys and girls of this country back into school again, but under what different circum- stances from those of other years! For the first time in their lives they entered upon a new school term, with their nation and al- most the entire civilized world at war. The homes from which they come are serious homes this year, touched already by the sor- rows and sacrifices made necessary by this conflict. The students from those homes are beginning to realize too, that more and greater sacrifices are just around the corner, if we are to win the war and the peace that will follow. These young people know that there's work to be done and a peace to be won. They have a will to fit themselves to win this peace. They know their country must have strong men and women, ready and eag- er to take their places of maximum service in the days that lie ahead. They do not mean that the American way of life shall be lightly given up. Danville High School students are just a cross-section of America's youth. Six weeks of the new school year are gone-and al- most without exception our students are more serious, more thoughtful, and ready to use to a better advantage the precious school days that are theirs. Surely all your teachers can't be mistaken. They are unanimous in declaring that you have made the best be- ginning of any school year in their teach- ing experience. There certainly is a better school spirit, more respect and earnestness, and students show interest in trying to find the best place for themselves in the scheme of things. You have set the pace for the new year. When May of '43 rolls around, make it pos- sible for all to say that this school session ended as it began-the best in the memory of any of your teachers.
